Hi everyone! My name is Rachel. I’ve been babysitting for about 5+ years now. Caring for children is a passion of mine. I love to watch them grow and flourish into their own little selves. I have tons of experience with newborns and children with disabilities (cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism). I am CPR certified, know how to make bottles, cut up food for the appropriate age, change diapers, and even help with potty training. I’ve seen and done just about all of it! I’m 22 years old and a senior at USC Upstate. I’m majoring in psychology and minoring in child advocacy studies. My end career goal is to be a child psychologist. I will be graduating with my Bachelor's degree in May 2024. With my minor being child advocacy studies, I have many certificates when it comes to mandated reporting, what to look for if a child is Read more in an abusive household and any signs of neglect and maltreatment. I absolutely love children and want to make a change in the world!
